The best thing you can do to avoid getting sick before any holiday gatherings is to get your flu & COVID vaccines.

To have #HealthyHolidays, don’t forget to wash your hands often, cover your coughs and sneezes and mask up if you aren't feeling well!

[Those Nerdy Girls @DearPandemic]

Keep a high-quality, well-fitting mask (like a KN-95 or KF-94) handy. Masks have the greatest impact in higher-risk settings like public transit, airplanes, crowded indoor spaces, or poorly ventilated areas.

1/ If at higher risk of getting very sick from #flu or #COVID19:

Make sure you are up-to-date with your #vaccines. Peak protection from vaccines takes around 2 weeks to ramp up.  Don’t forget to #mask strategically. #HealthyHolidays
